| Summary: | After reminding us of the criticisms addressed both by and at cognitive (so-called “Californian”) semantics, in terms of referentialism, representationalism, realism or objectivism, the article proposes a reflection on the material anchoring points of conceptual realities. Thus, it aims at a semantic model which balances discursive construction and social representation of the world, while maintaining the referrer; in other words: cognition, context and culture. Its demonstration, in terms of pragmatic connecters or vital relations, applies to personal identity its phases and its facettes, which today are the recognized phenomena or processes of the human and social sciences, and seeks to go beyond the mentalism vs objectivism debate of so-called “Californian” semantics and its opponents, notably in France.
